Send a Morse Code Message to Babe about Trees

Happy Arbor Day! Yep, it's that time again to celebrate the great outdoors, especially trees, in your own special way. Here in Albuquerque, we have been attempting to deal with the Moth-pocalypse which incorporates trees (it's where the little fuckers take roost when they're not infiltrating our home or swarming our porch light), so in a way, I'm not entirely happy with trees right now. However, we have been taking in the sites and sounds of the trees, rustling of leaves, and growth of the grass between the sidewalk pieces.  To celebrate, I decided to take a lovely walk home from school this afternoon to enjoy the warm weather, the fresh O2 created through a wonderful process known as photosynthesis (which takes place in the chloroplasts of the cells of plants; I know, dork alert), and check out the spring growth of our tree population on Central Avenue. On Arbor Day, I do sort of miss Ohio since parks around here (the ones with trees and not sand) are a bit scarce, but it certainly makes me appreciate the greenery we do have!

Second on the celebration list today is Babe Ruth Day.  If you don't know who he is, you're probably a hipster who couldn't identify the game of baseball if a Louisville Slugger hit you square in the back of the head! For the rest of us, we can celebrate one of the greatest baseball players of all time. On this day in 1947, Georg Herman "Babe" Ruth came to Yankee Stadium for the penultimate time to be honored for his many achievements in baseball. He had throat cancer, and without the modern advances in medicine we have, there was not much hope for "The Bambino." In his career, he led the Boston Red Sox to 2 World Series wins, and after being traded to the Yankees, led New York (who had previously never won the penent) to becoming the perennial American League and World Series Champions. Love him or hate him, you've got to give the man his kudos!

Finally, we celebrate the birthday of Samuel Morse, the inventor of Morse Code. Morse Code is composed of a series of lights, tones, or clicks tat correspond to a set pattern of dots and dashes representing the basic English alphabet, numbers, and a few outside Latin characters. The shortest code is for the letter "E" because it is the most frequently used letter in the English language (it is composed of a single dot). So, take a minute to send a message to a friend, relative, stranger, arch nemesis, or anyone else to know or don't know in Morse Code!
